Department of Journalism & Public Relations

Our majors specialize in one of three sequences: broadcast
journalism, multiplatform journalism or public
relations. We currently serve approximately 200 undergraduate
majors. Students enjoy small class size (limited to 20 in most
classes) and direct interaction with faculty, all of whom have
professional experience in journalism.

The majority of our undergraduate courses are taught by full-time
faculty who are as devoted to teaching as they are to mass
communication research.

Our journalism programs are nationally accredited by the ACEJMC, and
because of our two-internship requirement, our graduates are
guaranteed to have significant practical experience. Our program also
boasts excellent graduation
and retention rates.

Students have many opportunities to learn journalism firsthand at
BGSU: from the student-produced nightly television news program, BG24
News, to the award-winning student newspaper, The BG News,
The Key and other student publications, such as The
Obsidian, and The Gavel.

A group of BGSU students is currently in Paris for the International
Media seminar. Follow their tweets here.
